Catalysts often require specific storage conditions to remain stable and effective:
Temperature Control: Many catalysts are sensitive to temperature changes. They should be stored in a temperature-controlled environment to prevent thermal degradation. Humidity Control: Exposure to moisture can deactivate certain catalysts, especially those that are hygroscopic. Using desiccants and storing in a dry place is recommended. Avoiding Contaminants: Catalysts should be kept in clean containers to prevent contamination which can affect their activity. Using airtight containers can help in this regard.
